Seeing that none of the soldiers reacted, Xu Xingxia waved his hand casually and shouted in a deep voice: "Since everyone hasn't thought about it, then wait until you think about it, and then tell me." Now, all disbanded! After the disbandment, everyone packed up their personal belongings and prepared to do a big hygiene! Zhang Quanfu, you are responsible for preparing the tools! ”

Zhang Quanfu hurriedly agreed: "My subordinates understand!" ”

Xu Xingxia nodded, waved his hand, and the soldiers were all disbanded. They entered the horn mound and began to collect their personal belongings. As a result, they soon discovered that the inside of the horn pier was messy, and it was all messed up by Peng Feng's family. Some of the chase is spread on it, and there are even blackened stools. Someone couldn't help but curse in a low voice.

Gao Meng and Zhang Quanfu went up to the third floor, and found that the third floor was also ruined, and almost all valuable things were taken away by Peng Feng's family. At first glance, I thought it had been washed by a tartar. The two couldn't help but curse in a low voice. Damn, they're a bunch of thieves!

Xu Xingxia didn't care about the situation in the Niujiaodun. No matter how messy it is now, after a thorough cleaning, it will look like new. He gestured to Yu Lijun, called the other party over, and said sincerely: "Lao Yu, in the future, we will partner up in Niujiaodun, I have some things, I want to discuss with you, ventilate in advance." ”

Although Yu Lijun is much older than Xu Xingxia, he was still a little unaccustomed to Xu Xingxia calling himself Lao Yu at the beginning. He was a rather old-fashioned person, believing that he should be called by his first name or his official position in accordance with the rules of the army. Xu Xingxia's title is not like a regular army. However, this small adaptation, Yu Lijun still has it. He said in a deep voice: "Xu Baihu, please say something." ”

Xu Xingxia said slowly: "I want to clarify with you about their respective division of labor. I'm in charge of the war, and you're in charge of the things outside of the war. ”

Yu Lijun said a little strangely: "The duty of the subordinates is to manage military discipline......

Xu Xingxia said disappreciatively: "There are only ten people in Niujiaodun, how much time do you need to manage military discipline?" And how much is there about military discipline? I'm afraid I won't be able to find one in a month! Do you want to have moldy hair on your body? I mean, in addition to military discipline, you have to pick up logistics, internal affairs, ideology, politics, and so on. ”

Yu Lijun said suspiciously: "Dare to ask my lord, what is housekeeping?" ”

Xu Xingxia's eyes rolled quickly, and he said casually: "That's it...... The soldier's life is normal. For example, hygiene, cooking, eating, cleaning the commode, taking care of the horses, preparing firewood, and preparing forage. In short, everything related to the life of the soldiers can be called housekeeping. Well, it should be. ”

Yu Lijun obviously didn't understand some of Xu Xingxia's words. However, he is not a stupid person, and a stupid person cannot do the position of calming. There are some words that you can basically understand if you think about them a little. Listening to Xu Xingxia's tone, it seems that he has given himself a lot of power. This surprised Yu Lijun. Others are worried that they will compete for power, but this Xu Xingxia gave himself a lot of power as soon as he shook his hand!

Xu Xingxia said expectantly: "How is it?" Can you get busy? ”

Yu Lijun nodded and said cautiously: "Try your best." ”

Xu Xingxia nodded and said with satisfaction: "Okay." Lao Yu, as long as you help me do these trivial and tedious things well, I will definitely not treat you badly in terms of military merits. ”

Since Xu Xingxia mentioned military exploits, Yu Lijun was not polite, and expressed his gratitude repeatedly. The real benefits of military exploits are all there. As an officer who is specifically responsible for registering military merits, how could he not feel the great attraction of military merits! As long as he can mix up a few Tartar heads, he may be promoted to one level.

Regarding Yu Lijun's reaction, Xu Xingxia could still expect it. In fact, he is fully delegating power, and leaving all the things that are not directly related to the battle to Yu Lijun to do. This is also a recognition of him from later generations, which is obviously different from the people of this era. People in this era are eager to control every ounce of power in their own hands. Unless you feel huge external pressure, it is impossible to take the initiative to share it with others.

"Now, let's do the first big thing!"

Xu Xingxia then entered the Niujiaodun and announced loudly.

The first thing to do is, of course, to do a lot of hygiene. In the past, the horn pier was dirty and messy, the space was narrow, the air was not circulated, and the smell was suffocating. For such a living environment, Xu Xingxia is simply unbearable. He didn't want to die of illness in the horn mound. In the days without quinine and penicillin, it was terrible to be sick. Now that he is the owner of the horn pier, he naturally has to find a way to change all this.

Except for the two old and frail soldiers who were arranged to closely observe the movements of the tartars on the top of the horn pier, the other soldiers all rolled up their trouser legs, rolled up their sleeves, and did a great job of hygiene. Xu Xingxia personally took the lead and pointed out where to do it, and the people behind him began to do it. Xu Xingxia's basic principle is that you don't want to do anything, and you don't want it all. Only by emptying the inside of the horn pier as much as possible can it be possible to allow air to circulate.

The largest source of the stench, the stables, were relocated to the outside of the pier in their entirety. Xu Xingxia built a new stable near the fort gate, which could accommodate thirty war horses at the same time. The original stables were completely bulldozed. Horse manure, almost half a foot thick, was shoveled to the outside of the horn pier and piled up into a small mountain.

In the past, the Ming army was worried that the Tartars would steal the horses, so they set up the stables in the beacon pier. Now, with Xu Xingxia's perverted archery skills, this worry is purely superfluous. If the Tartars want to snatch these horses, they are an excellent bait. As long as the Tartars come up, Xu Xingxia's black feather arrow can kill them. Even if it is a war horse, change the head of a Tartar, it is completely done.

In addition to the stables, the debris on the ground floor, anything that is not needed, has been cleaned up. A large amount of messy things were thrown out of the horn pier and piled up in several large piles. The floor and walls of the first floor, after being cleaned, were sprinkled with a large amount of quicklime. The purpose of this is, of course, to disinfect.

The Datong shop on the second floor was also ordered by Xu Xingxia to clean up. Everything that belongs to private is gathered. If it can't be concentrated, it will be dismantled. In particular, those curtains were all cut off by Xu Xingxia's order. The bamboo sticks on the walls were also ordered to be pulled out, and no clothes and sundries were allowed to hang on the walls. The debris under the bed has also been cleaned up. Under the bed, no clutter is allowed.

Xu Xingxia's original request was to be done in accordance with the PLA's internal affairs standards. But later, he realized that if it was really implemented, it would still be too difficult. The quilt of tofu blocks is impossible to do for the time being. What can be done now is to require items to be neatly placed and not disorderly. All excess items will be removed.

Regarding the officer's residence on the third floor, Xu Xingxia was also unkind. It's still the most basic principle, you don't want anything you can't want. Those messy weapons, which I knew at a glance that they couldn't be used, were all thrown by Xu Xingxia to the garbage dump outside the pier. The only thing that remains is food, and some of the weapons that can be used.

When it came to food, Xu Xingxia couldn't help frowning. There was a lot of useless debris in the horn pier, and the only thing missing was vital food. At present, the grain reserves of Niujiaodun are only less than 300 catties. According to the calculation that each person consumes at least one pound of grain per day, there is only less than a month's reserve. The next time I received the grain, I had to wait until the summer grain harvest in July, which was a full three months. In the two months that are vacant in the middle, how to replenish enough food, Xu Xingxia, as a defensive officer, will definitely have to worry about it again.

"Fuck! Isn't this deliberately holding me back? ”

After Xu Xingxia quietly cursed, he put the matter behind him for the time being.

It took a full day to clean up Niujiaodun before the main task was completed. After a large amount of debris was removed, a lot of space was freed up, and the air circulation speed was greatly accelerated, and the air was obviously fresher. Xu Xingxia took a deep breath and felt that the quality of the air was at least ten times better than before. Living in such an environment is finally acceptable.

After completing the basic tasks, Xu Xingxia inspected everywhere for another week and decided to put a pot of flowers in many places. That's right, flowers. At that time, there was no special flower shop, and it was of course impossible to buy a whole pot of flowers. However, it is very easy to get a dozen of them out, fill them with soil, and plant some wildflowers in them, and it doesn't cost anything.

However, Xu Xingxia's request still surprised everyone. No way, his request is indeed too novel and chic. In every corner of the horn pier, there are pots of flowers? Did you hear it wrong? There are no women here, so what are you doing with wildflowers everywhere? It seems that few people like flowers.

Yu Lijun wondered: "My lord, is this necessary?" ”

Xu Xingxia nodded affirmatively and said unabashedly: "It is necessary." ”

Yu Lijun had to arrange for someone to prepare bottles and cans and flowers. It is now the spring of March, and there are all kinds of wild flowers around the horn pier, and they can be dug up with the roots. Of course, if you go a little farther, to the foothills of Helan Mountain, the wildflowers there will be more beautiful and precious. Since you have decided to put it on the table, let's get something expensive. Zhang Quanfu volunteered and rode to Helan Mountain to pick flowers.

Xu Xingxia and Yu Lijun checked it out all the way, and soon arrived outside the Niujiaodun. Outside the horn pier, there are open fields, very flat. If you look around, you can't see the edge in any direction. Most of the wilderness is covered with calf-high weeds, lush and green. Originally, it was all farmland, but then the Tartars kept coming to harass it, so they had to give up.

The fields around Niujiaodun are one of the biggest heart problems of the Ningxia avant-garde. After abandoning such a large area of land, the total area of Ningxia's avant-garde fields has dropped by almost half. This has greatly affected the strength of Ningxia's avant-garde. Some of the money and food of the guards have to rely on their own supply, and the appropriation from above will never be enough. Without land, there is naturally less supply. Xu Xingxia took a fancy to this place, and it was precisely because of the production of the fields that he took a fancy to. As long as someone has a field, they can slowly accumulate strength, these three eternal truths.

Xu Xingxia pointed to a vacant land and said slowly: "Lao Yu, we are going to open up a vegetable field here and prepare to grow vegetables." Niujiaodun used to eat pickles, dried vegetables, salted fish, dried radishes and the like that everyone brought from home, and there were never fresh vegetables. If you don't eat fresh vegetables for a long time, you can't get sick easily. From now on, we have to work hard to ensure that we have fresh vegetables to eat every day. ”

Yu Lijun said a little worriedly: "In case the Tartar comes......"

Xu Xingxia patted the bow and arrow on his back and said confidently: "I hope they come." ”

Yu Lijun's heart was suddenly settled. That's right, if a vegetable field can attract the Tartars close to the Horn Pier, with Xu Xingxia's arrows, the Tartars will definitely suffer a big loss. Kill twenty or thirty Tartars at a time, and if you do it a few more times, the Tartars will not be able to bear it. In addition, if the Tartars were entangled with Xu Xingxia every time in Niujiaodun, the direction of Nawei Zhenbao would be much safer.

Xu Xingxia turned around again outside the Niujiaodun, and said in an orderly manner: "We not only want to grow vegetables, but also grow something else." As long as it doesn't cause a fire, and it doesn't allow the Tartars to hide and approach, we can plant it. Even, we can raise some pigs, cows, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese, dogs, etc., to enrich everyone's life. ”

Yu Lijun said a little worriedly: "Lord Baihu, in case the Tartar comes...... Is our loss a little too heavy? Pigs, cows, sheep and the like, are not cheap! ”

Xu Xingxia still said confidently: "Don't be afraid!" I'm afraid that the Tartars won't come, as long as they dare to get close to the horn pier, I dare to let them come and go! ”

Since the boss said so, Yu Lijun was not worried, and said happily: "Then let's have some peanuts, sweet potatoes, potatoes, beans and the like?" ”

Xu Xingxia shook his head and said: "Beans are not good, if we want to build a scaffolding, it will obstruct our vision." ”

Yu Lijun nodded, changed his words and said, "Then don't want beans, change them to radishes, taro, pumpkins and the like." ”

Xu Xingxia said briskly: "Specifically, you can arrange it, as long as it doesn't hinder the battle." ”

Yu Lijun immediately said that there was no problem, and he would arrange it.

Xu Xingxia roughly calculated that with Niujiaodun as the center, a radius of 30 zhang (about 100 meters), almost 30,000 square meters in size, excluding the necessary roads and occupied fields, there are about 40 acres of land. More than 40 acres, not a small place. Whatever is grown, it should have a decent yield. Xu Xingxia didn't expect to sell for any money, as long as he could improve the lives of the Niujiaodun soldiers.
